Regarding the 12-32 in general...

I suppose one could go on bantering back and forth with the argument that this or that lens (camera combo) suffers from shutter shock.  I won't go there...

I will say that I keep the 12-32 (I have two copies) on both the Olympus E-PL7 and the Panny GF-6 and I couldn't be happier.  This 12-32 is perhaps one of the finest kit lenses out there and is optically superb IMO.  It's very sharp, almost to the point of being clinical (which in this case is not a bad thing).  Now I will say that just like any lens on the market, you may experience copy-to-copy variations, but for the most part these lenses are stayin' on the cameras I mentioned because they are so good (and extremely compact - wait till you see it).

As for the E-PM2, I don't have that model.  I have the E-M5 and I haven't tried this lens on there yet because I keep either the Panny 14-140 or the older Panny 14-45 OIS (which is another extremely sharp lens).  Overall, I prefer the Olympus bodies, but somehow find myself preferring using Panasonic lenses.
